Beloved violinist Joshua Bell stands among the most celebrated artists of our time, captivating audiences with his virtuosity for nearly four decades. Renowned for his animated stage presence and “lucid, energetic, and compelling” (Bachtrack) interpretations, he draws audiences closer to the music with deep emotional connection and undeniable charisma. 

With a repertoire spanning Baroque to contemporary commissions, Bell curates programs that delight, inspire, and move audiences. No matter what he plays, Joshua Bell will play it wholeheartedly.

Pianist Shai Wosner, praised for his “keen musical mind and deep musical soul” (NPR’s All Things Considered), makes his second appearance on our stages, his first since 2015.
